General Notes: Lois verbally shared quiet a bit of family information me.  She was the last member of the William A. and Emaline Ray Hunter's descendents to live in the house in Woodstock that William A. built.  I made several trips to visit her to copy pictures and for her to help me fill in the names of the various family members.

Because her father died at an early age Lois and her sister Jacie were raised by their grandfather William A. Hunter.  He was the only father they knew.  Therefore, when I handed out a printout that I created of a brief history of William A.'s history which pointed out the fact that William was an illegitimate child and also he once killed a man over a horse and he fled North Carolina to Texas and changed his last name to Hunter Lois became very upset.  She called me on the telephone and screamed at me telling me that she was going to carry that secret to her grave and I should be ashame of myself for exposing that.   Well, that's part of genealogy.

I told myself that she had every right to feel as she did.  She was defending the name of the only father she knew - and in her eyes being illegitimate was a sure scandal, and I'm sure she felt that William killed a man, fled, and changed his name to hide from  the law didn't help his social standings either.

When I uncovered these facts I asked Lois did she know anything about this and she told me no.  I think she thought it was stop with her "no".  But it didn't.
